Amentum has secured a potential five-year, $145 million contract from the U.S. Navy to provide system maintenance and modernization support services for the U.S. Marine Corps’ fleet of UC-35D aircraft.
The company said Wednesday the firm-fixed-price contract covers lifecycle transport aircraft system modernization, logistical, integration, sustainment, engineering and technical services for USMC’s fleet of 10 UC-35D passenger and cargo transport planes across five sites.
The Naval Air Systems Command’s Tactical Airlift Program Office (PMA-207) awarded the contract, which has a one-year base period and four option years.
The company will use its technologies, including Augmented Reality Remote Expert and MerlinMX predictive analytics, to support USMC’s transport mission.
“Showcasing our unparalleled expertise in ensuring readiness for complex, no-fail missions solidifies us as the premier partner for the U.S. Marine Corps, particularly in their mission-critical operations involving the rapid movement of personnel and cargo, as well as urgent medical evacuations,” Karl Spinnenweber, president of Amentum’s critical missions group.
“Our solutions-based, technology-supported approach to aircraft readiness is a key differentiator in consistently exceeding our customers’ stringent requirements,” added Spinnenweber.
